I BOUGHT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE A GOOD BUY. THEY ARE BUT THEY ARE NOT HIGH QUALITY. THEY WILL NOT PLAY IN HIGH END DVD PLAYERS OR IN PLAYSTATIONS. I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT 2 LOWER END PLAYERS FOR AROUND $40 AND THEY PLAY FINE. SOMETIMES THEY STILL WONT READ OR SAY"BAD DISK". SO I DID NOT SAVE ANY MONEY AND FEEL THAT THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE, I RECIVED 100 DISKS FOR $19 AFTER REBATE. I THINK THAT I WILL USE THEM BUT IN THE FUTURE I WILL BUY MAXELL BLANKS OR EQUAL QUALITY BECAUSE THEY PLAY IN ANYTHING.

I loved the Velocity DVD+R until I order 2 more spindles. I ordered it directly for the manufacture. When I received it, the outside covering was cracked and half the Disks had the jitters and the other half were coasters. It seems to me that they trick you into ordering one with a great offer including free shipping. Then they ship you the rejects from quality assurance. I will never again order this product period!!

The damn spindle came broken. The DVDs are not damaged. I read the forums later and came to know that everybody got their shipment with the spindle cover broken. I bet they have slashed down the prices so that they could get rid of their inventory. The broken spindle cover doesn't bother me much, but when i pay money, i expect the thing to come as they promised. Or they better have put a note on the website saying, broken spindle cover or something.

I have internal I/OMagic 16x DL DVD and one LaCie External 16x DL Drives. I tried with LaCie and the first two DVD works after verifying data with Nero Ultra 6. I used only 6x to make sure these work. Then, the rest of these Velocity discs got errors and even stopped working in the drive. I/OMagic is quite sensitive to generic brands but LaCie is more flexible. (By the way, LaCie appears as NEC.) It works well with two generic brands I tried so far: Staples brand and Teon also from Staples with few errors.

If your DVD drive is sensitive to generic brands, don't take a risk with this Velocity. It will be waste of your time and money, as well as your precious data. Very frustrating.

Update: After returning mine, I just got Fujifilm color DVD+Rs (30 color tower) on sales at Staples... ~10. Those are made in Japan, very rare to see in these days. Even though they mentioned 8x, Nero 6.6 let me use 16x. Those come with 3 colored cases, 10 each color, with label kit. THe best DVD+Rs I've ever used. Amazon should have these.

I have previously purchased a spindle of Velocity disks and did not have any problem with burning dvds. This batch seems to be from a different vendor and does not work, period. I returned them to Amazon.
